Local host displays blank

Hi I´ve recently downloaded wampserver to run my website locally so that I could make changes to it before releasing it online. I installed it all right, it´s now running online, but when I try accessing localhost it displays a blank page, with not found title.
I´ve already disconnected Skype from port :80, and restarted wamp, but nothing happens.

Any clue to what is happening to me? Oh, by the way, I´ve tried installing windows server before, but it didn´t installed wordpress correctly, so I uninstalled all features and tried wamp...

Make sure no other program conflict Wamp such as IIS, Microsoft Web Deploy, Web Deployment Agent Service, SQL, Skype, Zonealarm, firewall/antivirus, NOD32, Eset, any web related program including Remote Desktop, Teamviewer or Apache, MySQL, PHP outside wamp folder (ie. in Program Files or System32 folder) ...

IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS in Vista/W7:

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

Disable IIS in XP:

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

Restart computer, then restart Wamp

Also, in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc, open file hosts and delete anything in this file and have only this line below and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

If using Skype, open Skype > Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection then uncheck "use port 80..." restart Wamp then Skype
